What this tool does
Convert Word and related word-processing files into PDF with a local Office engine. Prepare a shareable reading copy without uploading the source document to an online conversion service.
- What you can open
- DOC, DOCX, ODT or RTF files supported by the local Office engine.
- What you will download
- One PDF for each selected word-processing document.
How to use it
- Choose the source document or a supported batch.
- Allow the local Office engine to load; its first download is substantial.
- Download the PDFs and check page breaks, fonts and table layout.
Know the tradeoffs
- The engine needs HTTPS, browser isolation, a compatible browser and sufficient device memory.
- Missing fonts and complex document features can cause layout differences.
Questions about this tool
Do I need Microsoft Word installed?
No. Conversion uses the packaged local Office engine in a supported browser.
Why is the first conversion slower?
The browser needs to download and initialize the Office engine before it can convert files.
